Instead of unrealistic floating, weightless, and wiggle-sword combat scenarios present in many other VR games, the main rendering engine of Blade and Sorcery infuses every move made by players into a fully physics-driven reaction that can accurately impact surrounding objects and enemies.

The game accurately manages hand controller-driven collisions, detects hitboxes, and transfers the weights from colliding objects in a very realistic way.

In fact, all objects (including bodies and body parts) are rendered with uncanny precision and presence, with the blades even being able to penetrate soft materials.



Magic elements of this title can be used in a wide variety of ways, from offensive ranged moves, defensive moves, and magical enchantment of bladed weaponry.

Due to its sandbox nature, Blade and Sorcery VR can be played for an unlimited amount of time, always presenting players with new and unique combat scenarios that are limited only by their creativity.

The game features a wide selection of weapons, combat stances, magics elements, and a realistic combat arena where players can showcase their melee or ranged combat skills in style.
